Southbound on Hwy 200, just north of Tapachula - STOP - at the CHECK POINT at your left. Note: You are not warned to stop here, seems like the stop is only for the northbound traffic - HOWEVER if you are traveling with a TEMPORARY TOURIST PERMIT, this MUST be cancelled, if you are NOT coming back into Mexico with your vehicle ever!

Stop your car on the right side and walk across to the guard house, they will explain the process to you. After clearing, proceed to Tapachula. If you do not want to enter the city, there is a bypass road, just 100m at the right pass the checkpoint.

HAVE YOUR VEHICLE PAPERS READY TO SHOW AT THE BORDER WITH GUATEMALA TOMORROW.
